Factors Influencing Remote Start Cost
While the table above provides specific pricing, it's important to remember that remote start installation costs can vary based on several factors:
- Vehicle Model and Year: Newer vehicles or those with more complex electrical systems may require specific modules or more intricate installation, which can affect the price.
- Type of Remote Start System: The prices above are for a "one-way" system. Other options, such as "two-way" systems (which confirm the car started) or smartphone-integrated systems (requiring a subscription), can be more expensive.
- Installer: Prices can differ between authorized dealerships, aftermarket car accessory shops, or independent installers.
- Additional Features: Some remote start systems offer additional features like keyless entry, alarm integration, or trunk release, which might increase the overall cost.
It is always recommended to check with a Ford dealership or a reputable automotive accessory installer for an exact quote tailored to your specific vehicle model and desired remote start features.
